I never buy talking clocks from Radio Shack.
The last time I bought a talking clock I bought it from a store which is no
longer in business. The clock has a British male voice and nine different
alarms. You can set the volume from 1 the softest to 8 the loudest. It has
a stopwatch and timer, too. I think I saw it listed on one of the web pages
of a store selling products for the blind, but I can't remember which one.
I'm a big help, right? (grin).
